Chapter 606 - 387: Time That Will Not Stay
October 5th, five days until Hanabi’s birthday.The Shinto wedding will be held at the Meiji Shrine.
It’s still early, so Mrs. Uesugi and Mrs. Hanamaru arrive early to inspect some wedding details.
For instance, the oath-taking shrine, banquet hall, cuisine, cooking utensils, bridal dress, flowers, makeup artist... and so on...
Uesugi Sakura and Hanamaru Hanabi accompanied by Chiaei and Aei, the two sisters, toured around.
The banquet halls vary in size, with the largest accommodating 409 people and the smallest 12 people.
Fuji, Penglai, Phoenix, Suehiro, Wakatake, Peacock.
Looking at the list of banquet halls with notably Chinese characteristics, Mrs. Hanamaru asked Uesugi Sakura, who was chatting with Hanabi:
"We need to invite about 130 people, come, you choose one."
Uesugi Sakura took the brochure and glanced at the photos of each banquet hall.
The [Fuji] banquet hall is slightly Western-style, decorated in all white.
The [Phoenix] is also Western-style, with many flowers, seemingly themed around flowers.
The [Peacock] style is ordinary, with pink flowers.
The [Penglai] has a Chinese vibe.
The other halls don’t have enough seats, so not considering them for now.
"Let’s take a look at Penglai." Uesugi Sakura glanced over and said to Mrs. Hanamaru.
The group followed the Meiji Shrine staff to the [Penglai] banquet hall.
The banquet hall has spacious windows that let natural light pour in, giving a great sense of openness.
Outside the window is a lush green garden.
The whole environment is bright and pleasant. Get full chapters from ????????????????????※????????????????※????????????
The kimono-wearing staff explained that this venue faces the garden, focusing on a nature theme, evoking a "forest" and "mountain" impression.
The landscape here is decorated with takasago, and the walls are adorned with a tapestry called "Penglai Mountain," measuring 3.6m high and 18m wide, the largest seamless fabric in the world.
Additionally, the hall is equipped with chandeliers of geometric design, style, and elegant beauty.
The banquet tables are also adorned with bright and splendid exquisite brocade.
Uesugi Sakura noticed the Chinese vibe in the design and asked the staff, "Who is the designer of this setting?"
The staff understood what he meant and replied, "The designer is Chinese."
Uesugi Sakura wandered around the hall, looked at the table flowers decorated with many green leaves, and the yellow and light blue flowers used as accents, merely looking at them felt refreshing and pleasant.
The [Penglai] hall spans 140 square meters and can accommodate up to 235 people.
"What do you think, little Sakura?"
"Hmm, it’s quite nice."
"And Hanabi?"
"I’ll follow Sakura’s decision."
After Uesugi Sakura selected the venue, Mrs. Hanamaru and Mrs. Uesugi began discussing some detailed requirements with the staff.
Such as the food style, quality of the dishes, etc.
Guests also need consideration, this wedding will include a small note with the invitation listing all food categories, so if guests have any allergies or preferences, they can write them down.
Guests return it in advance to the bride and groom, and the chefs at Meiji Shrine will prepare a special meal for that guest.
Uesugi Sakura turned to find Chiaei and Aei, the two little girls, already running over to admire the tapestry of "Penglai Mountain."
Hanamaru Hanabi stood beside them.
The spacious banquet hall with bright floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides.
Uesugi Sakura gazed at the delicate silhouette of Hanabi, feeling a bit moved that she would be marrying him in five days.
Invitations must be sent for weddings, which is no exception in Japan.
In the invites, the bride and groom would write greetings to friends and family.
"What should we say...?" Hanabi seemed a bit puzzled.
Uesugi Sakura said, "Since it’s a greeting, naturally write to thank them for attending our wedding, this is the most important moment of our lives, and also a new beginning in our life journey, sincerely inviting them to witness the most blessed memory of our lives."
Upon hearing the word "blessed," Hanabi seemed slightly startled, then turned around and showed him a smile, softly saying:
"Okay..."
Hearing her familiar voice, Uesugi Sakura instinctively held her small hand.
The clearer and more beautiful her smile, the more he wanted to cherish this impending moment of marriage.

Next day, October 6th, sunny weather.
"What!? You’re getting married?" In the University of Tokyo cafeteria, Todaka Keichiro holding the invitation, stared in disbelief at the serious-faced Uesugi Sakura.
"No need to be so surprised, I told you before that I got engaged, right?"
"But, I thought your engagement would at least be after graduation, didn’t expect it to be now."
Todaka Keichiro looked at the exquisitely packaged invitation in his hand with some sentiment.
Just a freshman year, and the most famous guy in the class is getting married.
A few days ago, he saw on his phone that this guy won first place in the national Sword Dao championship.
What happened to him this summer?
"When the time is right, that day naturally comes."
"What do you mean by when the time is right, that day naturally comes... Uesugi, your words, where does it leave our pride." Todaka Keichiro accepted the invitation.
"Don’t you have a girlfriend you like?" After handing over another two invitations to Seisa Takeshun and Umezu Nana, Uesugi Sakura was eating a salad from his tray.
"This invitation is so beautiful." Umezu Nana very much liked the invite designed with Hanabi’s color scheme.
"We broke up." Todaka Keichiro replied to Uesugi Sakura’s question with a sigh.
"Broke up?"
